Detailed description of the invention

Present disclosure relates to having can easily be removed the glasses system of eyeglass and realize showing of this functionExample device. The theme of this disclosure is described with reference to example below, and be to be understood thatBe many modification that existence can develop due to the instruction providing herein.

Eyeglass has front side 1, rear side 2 and peripheral part or edge 3, and front side is distance in the time wearingFarthest, rear side face apart from wearer in the time wearing is nearest for wearer's face. Along this edge 3 beGroove or groove (" lens edge groove " 4). Lens edge groove 4 shown in the drawings for shape be squareOr rectangle, but can also be cheese (domed), triangle or be enough to key or ring or bolsterOr carrier or exchange part 5 are fixed to any geometry of eyeglass. Find, key 5 preferably bonds(bond), to eyeglass, this is for example, because mechanical connection (, frictional fit) may be not enough to guarantorHold the required power of ring and offer eyeglass. More specifically, by the binding material such as epoxy resin at mirrorSuitable bonding is provided between the key 5 in the edge 3 of sheet and groove 4. Preferably, binding material byLook is to have the color identical with key. By this way, when solidified, be formed on the edge 3 of eyeglassIn groove 4 " hidden (mask) " by key 5, and eyeglass and key look like a part. ExcellentSelect binding material insert or be applied in groove 4 and key 5, this key is applied in groove along suitable orientation. DoFor key 5 being fixed to a part for this process of eyeglass groove 4, key is heated to be beneficial to place and by keyBe bonded to eyeglass.

Also expectedly, key 5 just begins not to be formed as being bonded to subsequently second part of eyeglass, andThat this key forms by cutting process. For example, suitable cutting machine will be no longer in lens edge 3Form groove 4, but in place by the key being integrally formed 5 being formed or cut in lens edge, andMake this key become a part for eyeglass. As following situation: binding material be colored in the above described manner andMake eyeglass groove 4 and associative key 5 covered, this associative key is independent, forms one with eyeglass entiretyThe structure of individual part, the key being integrally formed of this alternative forming process the part of the restriction key of eyeglass withBetween the remainder of eyeglass, there is no transition wire or boundary portion.

The distance of the rear side 2 from lens edge groove 4 to eyeglass can change along with the change of the thickness of eyeglassBecome, identical but the distance of the front side 1 from lens edge groove 4 to eyeglass keeps, and the skill of this areaArt personnel will recognize, this and nonessential be this situation. Fig. 9 and Figure 10 show have consistentThe eyeglass of the different-thickness of the key 5 of size and structure. In Fig. 9 and Figure 10, " a " is for illustratingBe approximately equal to the thickness of the thickness of key, " x " is for representing to be greater than the variable thickness of " a ".

What be attached to each lens edge 3 is by epoxy resin, polymer, synthetic, metal or itsThe key of at least one manufacture in his material or bolster 5, key or bolster are docked at framework at eyeglassIn 9 time, be assemblied between lens edge 3 and framework 9. Key 5 has basically identical in preferred arrangementsShape, to easily manufacture, and do not rely on the thickness of eyeglass, so that eyeglass and frameworkInterchangeability. The material of key 5 can inject eyeglass mould around, or it can manufacture also attached in advanceTo each eyeglass or be integrally formed at as described above on lens edge 3.

Key 5 has interior perimembranous 6, and this interior perimembranous is configured to firmly be assemblied in lens edge groove 4. KeyInterior perimembranous 6 shown in the drawings for thering is the structure of rectangle, but those skilled in the art will recognizeKnow and can adopt other shapes or structure to key, for example, key can be cheese, triangle or any severalWhat shape, as long as the interior perimembranous 6 of lens edge groove 4 and key is configured to key 5 to be fixed to eyeglass. AlsoWill be appreciated that the scope and object in the case of not deviating from present disclosure, the structure of key 5 canTo become with the sharper a little dihedral of the groove 4 than corresponding in framework 9.

Key 5 also has peripheral part 7, and this peripheral part is from lens edge 3 and lens edge groove 4 to overhangingGo out. This part of key 5 and lens edge 3 adjacency, and be (chamfered) cutting sth. askew, attachedShown in figure for thering is leg-of-mutton structure. Also can use cheese, rectangle or any other geometric formColumnar structure, as long as peripheral part and the frame slot 12 of key 7 are configured to be attached with each eyeglass of key 5Be fixed to framework 9.

Key 5 also preferably has the structure of projection 8, shown in the drawings for being positioned at the corner of key 5,This turning approaches the nose-bridge frame part of framework most in the time that the eyeglass with key 5 is docked in framework 9(bridgeportion) 10. When the peripheral part of key 7 be cut sth. askew time, the projection of the peripheral part of key 78 preferably do not cut sth. askew, but stretch out from the remainder of the peripheral part of key. When key 5 is attached to mirrorSheet while being docked in framework 9, projection 8 is visible along framework-eyeglass faying face, and specialNot obvious. Although showing projection 8, accompanying drawing is positioned at the nose-bridge frame part 10 that approaches framework most of key 5Corner, but projection also can be positioned at arbitrfary point along key.

Framework 9 forms groove (" frame slot " along the inner surface of framework at framework-eyeglass faying face place12). The shape of frame slot 12 and the degree of depth make the peripheral part of key 5 be assemblied in framework in complementary modeIn groove 12. Frame slot 12 (just typically has the identical degree of depth around the whole perimembranous of eyeglass openingAs key 5 extends around the whole perimembranous of eyeglass). In the time thering is the eyeglass of key 5 and be docked in framework 9,The peripheral part of key 5 is assembled in frame slot 12 in the time applying the power of q.s. Framework 9 is at framework-mirrorThe nose-bridge frame part 10 of sheet faying face (or can locator protrusions 8 any other point) is located to be preferably provided withRecess, otch or slow down (relieve) to receive the structure of projection 8, and preferably recess allows prominentThe mode rising to flush with the inner surface of framework is received, that is, projection is received in recess completely. ProminentRise and 8 be placed in this notch part 11 of framework, and projection along framework below outwardsStretch out and also prevent that eyeglass from being led to the front side to framework from the rear side of framework by integrated pushing. In other words,Frame slot 12 has the first side wall and the second sidewall, except frame slot is in the nose-bridge frame part of frameworkIn the notch part of reception projection 8, lack madial wall or have outside the madial wall of the height reducing, shouldThe first side wall and the second sidewall receive the also respective surfaces of engagement keys 5 along its opposite face. With this sideFormula, in the time that key needs buckle, key 5 needn't buckle (snap) in notch part on framework 9,Be buckled in around the remainder of the perimembranous of framework 9 side that the rear side along framework of frame slot extendsOn wall. Therefore, in these notch parts of frame slot, key 5 more easily inserts with respect to frame openingsAnd dismounting. In the time that the insertion/dismounting power required with the remainder of the perimembranous of eyeglass and framework is compared, willIndependently to insert the power needing in these notched region less for eyeglass. Therefore, on each eyeglass 1Corresponding notch part in projection 8 and the each eyeglass opening in frame slot 12 provides insertionThe preselected area of the required power reducing with removing eyeglass.

In alternative structure, framework can have outstanding flange instead of frame slot 12, and key 5Peripheral part have and be configured to receive the outstanding flange of framework the shape with the outstanding flange of frameworkThe groove that shape is corresponding. Similarly, lens edge can have outstanding flange instead of lens edge groove 4,And the interior perimembranous 6 of key has and is configured to receive the outstanding flange of eyeglass the outstanding flange with eyeglassGroove corresponding to shape. These structures can replace those structures of describing in first previous paragraphs, thereby formFollowing combination: (a) lens edge of fluting, the outstanding flange in the interior perimembranous of key; The frame of flutingFrame, the outstanding flange on the peripheral part of bolster, (b) lens edge of fluting, the interior perimembranous of keyOn outstanding flange; Outstanding flange on framework, the peripheral part of the fluting of key, (c) eyeglass limitOutstanding flange on edge, the interior perimembranous of the fluting of key; The framework of fluting, dashing forward on the peripheral part of keyThe flange going out, (d) the outstanding flange on lens edge, the interior perimembranous of the fluting of key; On frameworkOutstanding flange, the peripheral part of the fluting of key.
